I can't trade you a system, however if you're willing to ship yours here, that would ensure that the problem gets reproduced, and a bug is opened for development to look at. If you'd like to ship the system, send me a private message, and I'll give you a shipping address.

sorry, no. it was a bit of a throw-away line. i'm afraid I need my computer for work far too much on a day-to-day basis to ship it anywhere. I can give you my specs. I suspect that Nvidia ought to be able to afford a computer of the same sort as well as a free download of SuSE Linux.

But the other matters still apply -- have you any suggestions for getting bug info off of it? I'd certainly try to help within my ability. I'm no guru; but I'm o.k. with simple instructions to the command line and straightforward networking.
